"Godspell" was an off-Broadway and Broadway success and features a string of well-loved songs, including, "Day By Day." The all-girl cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," as the parables of Jesus Christ come to life.

C-R Kids, Cohoes Music Hall's youth acting company, will present two shows — ''Disney's Sleeping Beauty Kids'' and ''15 Reasons Not To Be In A Play'' — the weekend of Feb. 8-10.

Both plays are performed by students in grades 5 through 8. For showtimes or tickets, including online sales, visit www.cohoesmusichall.com or call the box office at 237-5858.

"Sleeping Beauty Kids: is set on princess Aurora's 16th birthday, and Flora, Fauna and Merryweather must use their fairy magic to save her from the spell of evil sorceress Maleficent. This classic fairy tale told Disney-style has many roles for a large chorus, from King Stefan and Queen Stefanie's loyal subjects to Maleficent's slimy goons. Songs from the beloved film, including "Once Upon a Dream," accompany new songs like "Maleficent!" and "A Little Magic Now."

"15 Reasons Not To Be In A Play" is a play about not being in a play, ironically expressed through a hilarious series of monologues, duets and ensemble scenes. From early traumas involving a glory-seeking elementary schoolteacher to possible disturbances in the global climate, "15 Reasons Not To Be in a Play" keeps the audience guessing just what scenario will be next.
